Detroit-based, DIY rock band, Turn to Crime, are set to release their new album, Actions, on April 28 (Mugg & Bopp Records). Recorded in the basement studio of frontman and project mastermind Derek Stanton, the album promises to be more of the Dinosaur Jr.-esque indie-rock that has made Turn to Crime one of Detroit’s best kept, underground music secrets.

Turn to Crime, however, aren’t the only other hidden gems in Detroit. Stanton, who is joined by Ian Saylor and Dorian Foerg in the band, shared with us some Motor City bands people should get to know plus some of the hideouts you could find them. Check these bands out. We sure will be. And check out the latest releases by Turn to Crime, “Without a Care” and “Light”, from the forthcoming, new album.

3) Growwing Pains – Good jamz. Lots of jamz. So much jelly jamz from this busy-body group of young punx. Watch out! Much yet-to-be-revealed greatness in the form of many other jams & many other bands, over many more years to come.
